    Cool vid. Thats an awesome cubera. I always find it interesting how much more curious the fish seem in the videos of deep dives. Contrasted with my own experience in shallower depths nothing that big will let you get anywhere near it except a Jewfish.


    The fish must have been on the other side of the wreck. A lot of times, they don't come close. You just see them swim off even deep. In shallow, you just have to get real lucky for a fish like that or the water has to be really dirty.

    How do you figure? I agree on the wetsuit 100% but I also think the reel line is great in red or white.:toast:


    Red is tough to untangle especially deep or dark areas like inside wrecks. The color turns gray.


    Ever bleed at depth? Looks like ink coming out of your hand!

    Why 32gb? Do you think the faster frame rates will increase the file size significantly?


    Reduced size and weight, and the included dive housing makes the silver edition a better value than the HERO2, for the same price.


    1080p @ 60fps and 720p @ 120fps alone makes the black edition worth it. Think of the cool slow motion spearfishing footage.


    double fps is like double the space for same resolution.


    What are the FOVS at 1080 and 720 at high fps?

    GOPRO 3 is worth upgrading considering those performance numbers.


    You will need to have a 32gb card now.


    Does anyone know the FOV available for gopro3?


    720p in 120fps will look butter smooth when you are looking left to right and you can play with slowmo shots.


    But which FOV will they have at 120fps...that is the question.

    Yeah, yeah....kick an old man when he's down.... <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">


    Old man kills nice fish! :toast::toast:

    You have to have 2 lengths or buy 1000ft like me. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

    I've never had a fish run out my whole line using a Wong and a Rob Allen. I think one had 60 meters and the Wong maybe 70? I would guess the most a fish ever took was a little more than half.
    But if you use it for wahoo or other blue water, maybe you would want more?


    When you dive deep, the fish takes a lot of line before you even reach the surface. 30 seconds to get back up...


    My reel holds 275 and it hasnt spooled me yet. But at least 240-250ft came out.

    thats music to my ears Don :)
    After seeing the internals of a Pneumatic it became a lot less daunting. Piston seals is almost an over-glorified term. I don't mind changing an O-ring when I need to


    Seriously, the maintenance thing that people talk about all the time on the forums is not from personal use. Those orings are TOUGH to break when the gun actually has oil in it. The guns dont come with enough oil when they are new.

    Do you think there'd be an interest in carbon steel pneumatic shafts? I can source them. Problem is the slide ring will take off the coating I think. The only way would be to put the line attachment hole in front of the muzzle. But if I remember right that's how you had it anyways no?


    I am not sure if there is a market.

    Shooting a pneumatic is a lot of fun. The only reason I stopped using them was the shafts. Big fish bend those shafts. You can get dead on accurate with them probably because of such little recoil. My hole gun will always be a pneumatic.

    I would change the oil once every year. Its so cheap to do but its not necessary. Get yourself 10w fork oil. There are a few places that a pneumatic can possibly have a problem. The trigger, the reduce power level and the piston. If the gun is well oiled, those orings last so long and probably never need to be changed. The oil prevents rust, keeps orings from drying out from saltwater, and obviously helps with friction.


    The Sten piston is the same size as the Seac piston.

    People love his products and speak highly of them.


    He ships when he gets to it. He does not have the best customer service. Don't take my word for it. Do a search. His sense of urgency is just not there. That's the way he is and it seems to working for him.


    Once you know all this, there isn't any problems. But new customers get pissed.


    I think I read a thread about online orders every 3 to 4 months about Neptonics. Does that sound about right?
